Default Should I trade in?

Please Login to Remove!

I'm still in the 30 day period with my Curve 8310 from ATT. Would there be any advantage for trading it in and upgrading to the 8320 they are now offering??

Do you know the difference between an 8310 and an 8320?

Uh, not really. I'm a total newbie. I was, however, just comparing them on the ATT website and I don't see much difference. We don't get WiFi here, probably never will.

Don't need the GPS either, really.

Then stick with the 8310.

The only difference, as Dream Rider stated, is that the 8310 has built in GPS and the 8320 has built in WiFi.

Yes - use the Sticky Thread at the top of the 8300 forum for the latest version of the 8310 OS and follow the instructions.

Good luck!
